Chapter 375
–
A huge star burns like a bonfire illuminating the pitch-black darkness.
While the old celestial body named ‘Olga’, a red giant star, was emitting its own light, a spacecraft appeared with a blue light.
“Superlight voyage completed. Red giant star ‘Olga’ confirmed. “We arrived safely in the Dorane star system.”
The situation room has a clean atmosphere as if it was made of white marble.
Humans in military uniforms are operating computers in front of a hologram of a star map floating in the center. The people in the situation room were so orderly in their clothing and behavior that they were reminiscent of soldiers.
However, their identities are not soldiers.
“hey. “Now that you’ve arrived, please contact your employer again.”
“yes. “Captain.”
The name of the man called captain by the sailors was Sechan Hamilton. This is Space Dog from Megacorp.
At one time, he was a soldier working in a crisis management team on a warship or a space city security team. After retiring from work, he became a pirate.
In Megacorp, piracy is a serious crime, but many soldiers engage in corruption by interacting with pirate cartels. Most of them are caught by Megacorp and meet a miserable end, but there are cases where they are lucky and retire without being caught. Se-chan and his subordinates were also such a lucky case.
Sechan’s faction, the Hamilton Cartel, is comprised of all members who are former military veterans. Is that why? Unlike regular pirates, they tended to pursue activities in sunny areas.
Instead of serious crimes such as smuggling or human trafficking, credits were earned through security-related activities such as guarding key figures and transporting important goods.
Of course, if they had only engaged in legal activities, they would not have been called pirates. I was often tasked with dirty work, such as guarding criminals or secretly transporting terrorist objects. This kind of illegal work was something that had to be done because it made a decent profit.
Anyway, Se-chan did a pretty good job. The Hamilton Cartel has never been pursued by Megacorp or any other major force. His relationship with other pirates was also good.
This is because he is well versed in network management.
Continuing to do business by maintaining friendly relationships with profitable customers and relationships established in the past while in the military. He thoroughly managed those he deemed important.
Se-chan didn’t understand.
These are people who dared to come and reside on a volcanic planet in this remote star system. I don’t know if it’s true that a few volcanoes explode and completely collapse like that.
While he was still suspicious, another message arrived.
“Captain, since the situation is like this, I will come here directly from over there and receive the goods.”
“You’re coming to my boat?”
“How do I do this?”
“....”
As soon as he heard those words, he was convinced.
‘This chewy, something is decorating.’
Customer S has never once sent anyone to his ship. He only dealt with his base.
It was suspicious to anyone that such a person would suddenly do business on the other party’s ship under such circumstances.
He was silent for a moment and looked at the hologram with narrowed eyes.
“Say you’ll go from here. Vice-captain. “Recruit people to come down, and prepare the equipment I will use.”
“It’s dangerous!”
The vice-captain also felt that this situation was suspicious and tried to stop Se-chan.
But he had already made up his mind. His eyes turned to the ships captured on camera.
‘I don’t know what kind of trick it is, but...’
As a former soldier, he knows how valuable those ships lying around are.
‘The base over there has been destroyed and there are few ships. There won’t be many survivors.’
In this case, it is unclear whether we will be able to continue trading in the future. In that case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take this opportunity to end the relationship.
“From now on, the vice-captain will assume the position of temporary captain. “The period is until I return.”
“Captain!”
Se-chan left the command to the vice-captain and left the situation room.
Customer S is a customer who has left a lot of profit to him so far. I appreciate that, but he is a pirate. I have no intention of paying attention when I can extract more from the opponent.
‘Let’s keep the ships as souvenirs of the end of the deal.’
Ten minutes later, a transport from Sechan’s ship descended through the planet’s atmosphere.
